Similar to how one would sign up with a free site or forum, Car Press is offering a great deal for people who want to close a deal online as far as their cars are concerned. You can buy or sell new and used cars via the Car Press site.

It is quite easy to sell your car via this site. All you have to do is register, activate your account via the email you entered and then you can post away. There is no charge and your listing will remain there until of course an interested buyer would consider purchasing. Conversely, this is the same with looking for a car. But the best thing about it all is that you don’t have to shell out a single penny!

Car Press can also be used to search for new cars to compare, purchase or sell. So if you want to flog an Audi, offload a used BMW, or sell a second hand Saab, Car Press is a genuinely Free Internet resource that allows you to do so.

At the rate that people are trying to save on costs, availing of free services as this one will surely be welcome.

It was just a matter of time before anyone would think of it and apparently it has happened. I am talking about the scams associated with the Car Allowance Rebate System which seems to be now the target of lowdown people who are aiming to gyp people out of their money. And the medium is still through email which calls on interested people to register for the CARS or Cash for Clunkers program

www.cashforclunkersfacts.com posted a warning. We also urge consumers not to give out their social security numbers or other sensitive information to anyone calling or emailing them to register for the CARS program or the Cash for Clunkers program.

To check if you are eligible for the CARS program, all you have to do is go to the site and check it out for yourself. If they are qualified, they can go to a local dealer and purchase their new car. These are the only steps and nothing else.

Other than that, discard and disregard that email. Don’t add another headache to your growing pains of financial strains today.

Teen driving can be reckless at times and as parents, we barely get to see this. Testing them by asking them to drive for you will not work since they will certainly be cautious and drive like rational drivers. But the real problem starts when you are no longer looking. But that was yesterday’s news.

Today, Zoombak makes teen drivers become more cautious. With their latest GPS tracking device, parents will be able to monitor their children’s driving habits and pinpoint where they are. The rising number of car accidents caused by teens has been a cause for concern and now thanks to Zoombak, another preventive measure may be able to help curb down these numbers.

How Zoombak speed tracking works:

• Following a quick over-the-air software update, Zoombak customers will be able to set up a speed threshold, (say 60 MPH) and receive alerts if that threshold is exceeded.
• Setting up a speed alert for an account at Zoombak.com is simple and fast, and users can choose to receive alerts by SMS text to their mobile device, or by email. Users can set the speed alert to be always on, or set on/off schedules around certain times of day.
• Zoombak determines the speed and direction (North, South, East, West) of the driver based on their location signal every 5 to 15 seconds.
• When conducting Find-Now searches at Zoombak.com, in addition to the regular current location information, the email or text message will now also automatically display both the speed and the direction the driver was heading. So even if automatic alerts are not set up, parents can still see on-demand how fast and which direction their teen was driving. Direction is displayed as North, South, East or West.
• The new “Speed” section of the Zoombak website provides Zoombak customers with more detailed instructions on setting up and getting the most out of the speed tracking feature.
